Who am I

I obtained my PhD in Genome Sciences from the University of Washington in 2020, where I studied yeast genomic dynamics and genetic signaling in Drosophila melanogaster. Following my PhD, I joined a startup company as a Senior Scientist Geneticist, where I established transgenic fly strains for the production of growth factors for the cultivated meat industry.

I later continued my training in biochemistry as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego (2021–2024). I also contributed to a research project in the Galápagos Islands, continuing my work on the role of diet in adaptation.

I have over 10 years of experience training scientists, including technical instruction, project development, and research management.

I actively participate in major scientific conferences, where I continue expanding my knowledge and building collaborations in fly and yeast research.
